Free. This place is the dumping area behind a local company.
The place had a bunch of bubble wrap. I couldn't estimate the square
yards, but there was way more than would have fit in my car if I didn't
have 7 boxes of stuff in it. There were also 50-100 cardboard boxes
and several cubic feet of foam.

I did end up with some duplicates. VIC stuff seems to be pretty common.
Before this year I never owned any Commodore stuff. The VIC is a pretty
nice machine, given its limitations. I forgot to mention that the box
also had two "motherboards". These plug into the cartridge slot and
have 3 cartridge connectors which allow multiple carts to be plugged in
at the same time. Pretty cool stuff.
bank. Get money. Go back to thrift. The VIC
was still there.
Bought the box of stuff for $5. This included VIC-20 (still untested),
CN2 (my 3rd!), 3K, 8K, and 16K memory carts, super expander cart (with
manual), Forth Cart with box and manual, programmer's aid cart, machine
language monitor cart, 7 cart games, and a few cassette games.
Nice! On the way home I visited bubble wrap mecca.
Greg Mast tipped me off
on this place. Thanks Greg! I filled up the rest of my car with bubble
wrap and headed home.
How much is this stuff at the place you went to?
